My father used to say,"Superior people never make long visits,have to be shown Longfellow's graveor the glass flowers at Harvard.Self-reliant like the cat--that takes its prey to privacy,the mouse's limp tail hanging like a shoelace from its mouth--they sometimes enjoy solitude,and can be robbed of speechby speech that delighted them.The deepest feeling always shows itself in silence:not silence, but restraint."Nor was he insincere in saying, "Make my house your inn."Inns are not residences._________________________* Ezra Pound: Poetry is news that stays news.
